Preventing entity references conversion.

Hi,

Is there any way to use the DOMParser & SAXParser without entity references
conversion?
Means preventing the expression : <Data>&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</Data> become to
<Data><P>;</P></Data>


				Thanks Sharon.

Preventing entity references conversion.No. Character refs are basically transparent in XML. They aren't reported which is how you know about references normally. Definitely the parser itself has to expand them, in order to make sure that its legal XML. IT does that to regular entity refs as well, but it also reports the start/end of them so you can know what goes inside them.
